81, 4O0, 900 in cash on agreement. Rus
sell Sage is also named as member of
the syndicate. According to reports.

CHICAGO, March 16.-James 7. Con-
molly, a bookkeeper for McGarigle,
warden of the county hospital and one
Of the indicted boodlers, was arrested

The four boodlers arrested last night
all night, in spite Of the strenuous
efforts Of their friends to have bail
fixed. Judge Jamison was aroused
from his sleep at midnight and hurried
to the sheriff's Office, but refused Co fix
the bail until the states attorney ap-
peared and stated the nature of the
indictments. Efforts were made to
find Mr.. Grinnell or one of his assist
ants, but they failed. and after waiting
until 2:30 a. M, Judge Jamison went

Donald, engineer of the county hOspit-
al and employees, Driscoll and Connel-
ly, who were arrested last night, were
taken befoye Judge Anthony in the

ment involved completely in the en-
| bezZlement of a sum exceeding $780,
600 on each Indictment, and that the

at 81, GOO each. Mr.. Forrest, on behalf
of the prisoners, argued that the al
legged Offense was only to be regarded
as misdemeanor under the statue and
commended that the amounts
asked for were excessive. Judge
Anthony said that when charge OF
| embeZzlement was made against pub
lie officer it was to be regarded as q
high grade of crime and could not be
| treated lightly. He cited the action OF
the New York courts in recent trials
for offenses similar to the ones charged
| against these defendants. He stated
he would fix the bail in the amounts
| asked for by the state.

Canned Meats Poison n Bridal
Party i'm East Los Angeles.
There was an unpleasant termina.
ton to wedding feast given in East
Los Angeles on Tuesday night. A
party of friends and well-wishers had
assembled together to celebrate the
nuptials of 1. G. Carter and Miss L.
D. Strong, and during the course ol
the evening an elegant repast was
spread before them. After the plat s
were removed some of the guests
complained of sickness and left for
their homes and similar symptoms at.
tackled the bridegroom and the doctor
who was sent for announced that he
was poisoned. Fortunately the at.
tack was not a fatal one and the
bridal party were able to start for
their honeymoon last night. Most Of
the guests underwent similar expe-
rience, and the services of the med.
icos in the vicinity were in great de.
mand, but as in the first-named case.
beyond a temporary unpleasantnes:
no serious results occurred. The only
theory that can be given for the poi
soning is that some canned meats
formed part of the dishes served, and
as many similar cases have been
traced to the use of these condiments
it is believed that they were the
source of evil in the case narrated.

FIRST STREET.
The Importance of widening at
Once.


Once.
The widening of First street is an
important matter, and sometime since
the people signed an agreement to
move back ten feet on each side Of
the street. In order to hasten action
in this matter the committee, which
has devoted much time and hard work
to this object, has issued the following
circular:
To the property owners ON First street
between Alameda and the riuer::
Your committee in the matter OF
widening First street, after several
months OF diligent work, secured the
signatures of all the above property
owners to an agreement to widen the
street by moving back ten feet on
either side. The committee has also
obtained from the City Council an
agreement to have the curb lines
moved back at the expense of the
city, as SOON as the property owners
shall have removed their fences.
The committee is now awaiting the
action of the said property owners in
removing to the new line before TAX
ing steps for the widening of the street
from Alameda to Main. 1t is found
to be impossible to proceed with the
latter portion of the work until the
widening from Alameda to the river is
finished.
The committee is anxious to avoid
further delay in this matter. You are
accordingly hereby notified to remove
to the new line, in accordance with
the written agreement, by or before
the lst day of December, 1887.

Mr.. D. S. Browne, a well-known cit

said that their reputation there wa
not considered good, although HI
knew of no particular charge agains

Afternoon session.

G. B. Fitch, a police officer, was
sworn and testified: l first saw Hattie
Woolsteen on October the 18th in the
Office of the Chief of Police. 1t was
about IL 80 at night, the morning of
the 18th. I had conversation about
Harlan's death on Saturday morning
with Hattie. 1t was between 3 and 4
O'Clock. Minnie was lying on the
sofa. l sail that it was too bad she
had no friends here and that l was
willing, outside of my official
capacity, to do all l could for
her-I believe that she had
confidence in me. She said that they
were riding. Harlan wanted her to
10 to Denver. She wouldn't 90 on
account OF her sister. He then pulled
out a revolver and shot himself. l
thought it was strange that he should
have shot himself on the left side
with his right hand. Then she de-
tailed how she took his body to Comp
ton and burned it. Hattie thought
that Minnie was asleep at the time,
hut Minnie told me afterwards that
she had heard part of the conversa-
fion. Hattie said that when Harlan
shot himself he did not bleed to speak
Of. He fell on her lap or shoulder.
Then she drove to the barn, took the
matches out of his pocket, turned
him over and set fire to the barn.
She said he had shot himself in the
left temple. l cannot positively tell
v,,, where she said he shot himself. /
am not acquainted with the names of
the streets. recollect she said some
thing about Figueroa street. She said
Harlan had $40 in money, a watch
and chain and ring upon his person.
She said she had hidden them, but
that later she gave them up to Chiei
Darcy. When she spoke about those
objects she said that Darcy had them
already. She told me they were hid
dsn under a tree about fifteen min.
utes' ride from the station. She stated
that she had buried them in a tin can.

chaste is the youths Keepsake,
published at Boston in 1885, with a
frontispiece of Little Annie IN 1ringed
pantalettes and contributions from
Mrs. Sigourney, Miss Leslie and Miss
II. F. Gould. The last named chants
the doleful history of Captain KID. and
describes the humility of the silk worm.
But in this year the cream of the small
volume is "Little Annie's Ramble," by
the author Of "'Thc Gentle Boy,'' no
other than Hawthorne, and on this
day more especially interesting
is 1.-The Harvest Moon," by j.
G. Whittier.
To-day Whittier comes of the very
respectable age of four-score. Looking
back to the year 1926, when he made
his first venture IN print with the New
burport Free Press, it may be doubted
whether Il poem better furnished with
the qualities which have made him
popular can be found than this trans
